hiya,
great news from toronto! we had a really great town hall meeting last night to see what the general interest was for a coworking group for toronto, and we're very pleased with the results. wayne and i welcomed everyone and announced a few of the things we have been thinking about. first and foremost is that we have named our initiative camaraderie, an appropriate name for a coworking facility, we think! the second is that we want our business model to be a co-op, so we spent some time explaining what a co-op is, what the benefits are, and why we feel it is appropriate for coworking. we also took some rough estimates by show of hands of how soon someone would want space, what sort of time commitment they were thinking of for space, and which neighbourhoods they would prefer, and then collectively created a facility amenity wishlist. since then we've created other ways to spread the word. e-mail for the domain camaraderie.ca is already in use, but our website will take a bit of time. we have a twitter account (camaraderie), our own google group (torontocoworking), a blog (camaraderiecoop.wordpress.com), and a facebook group (camaraderie coworking). with such a great start, we're going to press on and make this happen. now if only i liked coworking with hyphen or co-op without a hyphen, since "coworking co-op" looks awkward. [ sigh ] the things i worry about! r. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
